How does Solar Energy work?

Solar power system technology has advanced a great deal since its beginnings due largly to demand. A photovoltaic cell is a device that generates electricity by reacting to the suns light rays.
To generate a useful amount of electricity, many of these cells are combined to create a solar panel. These panels are also known as photovoltaic cells, solar cells or solar panels.

A solar panel typically generates 12 volts DC (Direct Current). These panels can be used individually or they can be wired together in what is called a solar array. The number of panels used in the array is determined by a number of factors such as sunlight but here are many other factors that determine solar power effectiveness such as:

• The amount of electricity required.

• How much sunlight is available.

• Weather conditions - the conditions on any given day.

• Climate - Weather patterns over a long period of time. Early morning fog for example.

• Location, Pollution and Air Density.
